Apple iPhone users consume less data than Android users
Sprint CEO Dan Hesse stated in a recent Mobile World Live interview that iPhone users are more profitable for the carrier because they use less data than Android users.
“iPhone customers have a lower level of churn, and they actually use less data on average than a high-end, 4G Android device,” said the executive. So from a cost point of view and a customer lifetime value perspective. They’re more profitable than the average smartphone customer.”

iPhone Outsells BlackBerry in RIM’s Home Country
Research In Motion hasn’t had an easy time as of late. The company is struggling to keep up with competitors in both the tablet and smartphone space. Now it seems the company has been dealt another blow: the iPhone has, for the first time, outsold the BlackBerry in RIM’s native Canada.
Bloomberg and IDC report that the Ontario-based company shipped 2.08 million handsets in Canada last year. Full story : Tom’s Guide

What’s coming on iPhone 5?
Sure, the new iPad just came out a week ago. But it’s never too early to talk about what everyone’s expecting next on the iFrontier — iPhone 5, of course.
There’s no shortage of speculation on what it could have and what it should have. The biggest chatter seems to surround the possible announcement date of iPhone 5 and its screen size. Full story : Chicago Tribune
iPhone rumor: Autumn, LTE, new dock plug
The latest comes from iMore, which today posts some chewy, though anonymously-sourced hardware details about Apple’s next smartphone.
Those include a move to a 4G LTE radio like the one the third-generation iPad ships with, a display that’s “similar if not same sized” to Apple’s long-time 3.5-inch spec, and the move to a smaller dock port for charging and data transfers. (Pic) Full story : CNET
iPhone 5 Will Not Feature Rumored 4.6-inch Display
People say that Apple needs to equip its next flagship model with a bigger screen, if it wants to crush rising competition and give a complete multimedia experience to users. It is speculated that Samsung’s next flagship model – Galaxy S3 is coming with 4.7- or 4.8-inch screen. So, bloggers say that the next iPhone needs a bigger screen to save it from getting killed by Galaxy S3.
But, we do not think that way. Apple is always sticking to 3.5-inch screen size for its iPhone and 9.7-inch screen for iPad. Full story : Surojit Chatterjee: International Business Times
Why the Next iPhone Won’t Be Huge
It’s been about six months since Apple took the wraps off its iPhone 4S. That means it’s about time for the rumor mill to start talking about the next iPhone.
Reuters is relaying a rumbling from the Far East, where most rumors finds their origins thanks to the region’s proximity to the world’s gadget supply chain. The report quotes a South Korean news outlet that Apple will use a 4.6-inch display on the next iPhone. Samsung is one of Cupertino’s biggest suppliers and is located in the region, which is presumably why this rumor has made it this far Full story : Evan Niu – DailyFinance
15 reasons to jailbreak your iPhone
Because it gives you choice and extreme customisation, and “breaks the device out of its jail” to allow you to install any application.
Jailbreaking, in a nutshell, gives you all of the glamour of owning an iPhone, while retaining the flexibility features of Android. The process itself is quick and easy, and is legal under U.S. law. It rarely has any effect on the App Store applications you have downloaded, but gives you an additional store (“Cydia”) to install free or even paid-for apps to make your iPhone experience even better.
